SANITARY TOILET COVER.

Application filed November 24, 1926. Serial No. 150,511.

My invention relates to a'mechanism holding a standard toilet paper rolland fastened on the toilet seat; and the objects of the improvement are,first to provide a fresh supply of sanitary cover fOr every occupant ofthe seat, second to facilitate the placing of the fresh one on, andthird to prevent the wasting of the regular toilet paper in using it asseat-cover.

I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing in which:

Figure 1 shows the entire mechanism mounted on the lower part of thetoilet seat.

Figure 2 shows'the end of the sanitary cover roll placed on the seat.

In Figure 3 two mechanisms are seen mounted sideways on the seat withtwo sanitary covers in use.

Figure 4 shows another application of the mechanism as it can be mounted011 the seat.

Figure 5 refers to the holding mechanism for the toilet paper roll.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The standard toilet paper roll 1, placed around the wooden rod 2, willbe held in position by a metal rod or wire 3, with the bent endsprotruding into the wooden rod 2, the reinforcing wire 10 presses theholding wire 3 against the rod 2, and prevents a slipping off the paperrolls, at the. same time allows its easy turning.

The ends 6, of the sanitary roll pulled in the direction of the arrows 4and 5, can be placed easily on the seat, furnishing the user with afresh layer of sanitary cover on such parts of the seat, which aremostly exposed,

seats.

The used end 6, of the sanitary cover can be removed from the roll bytaking said end, and pulling the paper in the direction of arrow 5,thereby pressing it against the out ting edge 7 which is rigidly mountedon the helical formed metal casing 8 of the sanitary roll, by means of abent strip 9, which latter: serves also as a mounting for the entiremechanism.

Pressing the ends 15 and 16, of the holding wire 3, in the directionsindicated by the. arrows 17 and 18 respectively, the wooden rod 2, canbe removed from the protruding edges 11 and 12 of the holding wire 3,and the new sanitary roll can be put in service.

The end 13 of the metal casing 8 forms an almost closed cylinder aroundthe middle part 14 of the wire 8 and around the helical part of thereinforcing wire 10, and so protecting them.

I am aware that prior to my invention sanitary toilet-seat covers havebeen made, I therefore do not claim such a combination broadly; but

I claim:

In a device of the class described a sheet metal helical casing formedof one piece and open at the sides, a paper roll incased in said casingprovided with resilient arms attached to the casing to permitthe roll tobe removed 70 from the casing, a bracket securedto the un to be soiledby previous users of the toilet der side of the toilet seat, saidbracket having a cutting bar attached to the forward edge, and means forattaching the helical casing to the bracket.
